The EV charging market within the transport industry is experiencing rapid development, with numerous new truck charging stations being realised in no time. However, this rapid expansion has led to a downside: the landscape becomes even more fragmented, leaving drivers, planners, and fleet managers with a challenge to find a complete and reliable overview of charging locations. This lack of a unified solution within this relatively new need for carriers can lead to inefficiencies in route planning and operations.
A unified solution
In response to this challenge, Eco-Movement, a global frontrunner in EV charging station data, and TRAVIS, Europe’s leading truck service platform, have started a partnership. This collaboration aims to provide a seamless charging experience for planners and drivers by offering a comprehensive and accurate map of all available truck charging points, along with crucial details such as the type of chargers, accessibility, opening times, number of chargers, and even real-time availability. Leveraging Eco-Movement’s expertise in EV charging data management and TRAVIS’s solutions for integrating truck services, this partnership enables more efficient route planning, leading to cost reductions and enhanced operational profitability for transport companies. This ensures greater transparency and reliability, enabling drivers, planners and fleet managers to find and utilise charging points efficiently.
